Interview was very straight forward and conversational. I was asked very similar questions that every one else on here was asked, so I felt very prepared for the interview. Then CRM scenario, (view the study guide of this website, including the Sim/Scenario section)....

I heard back within a day.  Scheduled the interview and did the interview prep session through the cadet program. The interview went a lot quicker than I expected, I had heard it could take 2+ hours but mine was done in about an hour. Wore a suit, did basic introductions, HR questions, (view the study guide of this website).  I read through the HR and scenario questions on the study guide and thought up some example answers. Had me read off my recent totals, I just looked in...

Interview was very straight forward. It was a a very comfortable experience. I had pushed my interview back 2 times because I didn't feel ready, but if you study all the information on this site you should be in a good shape. It started with getting to know me and why I choose SkyWest. Followed by scenarios where I am the captain (Pilot Flying) and we are 30 mins from landing and Flight attendant calls saying the passenger is having an emergency, what would you do ? I said 2 in 2 out and I...

My experience pretty much followed the road map of most other interviews described here. It was with an older training captain who was very friendly and had a relaxing attitude and demeanor and said to treat it as two pilots having a conversation. I also wore a full suit and tie which he seemed to appreciate. It started out with a review of my submitted documents (he had some clarification questions on my education history as well as an aviation-related incident that I disclosed) and he...

Interview started with a brief introduction, Flight time 30/60/90/1year, HR questions (checkride failure, DUI, Felony)then TMAAT question (when was a time where its was a hostile situation in the aircraft and what did you do). Then into High alt aerodynamics (Critical Mach, Mach tuck, coffin corner, dutchroll, Swept wing PROS/CONS). Onto when is alternate needed (1-2-3 rule). WX (METARS, TAFS) I got a complicated METAR which had R04R/1600V400 so know this. Thunderstorms and microbrusts. In...

Interview was just as suggested here. Interview was very laid back, interviewer was really nice. Started off talking with about our flying careers so far, then pretty short hr portion, why Skywest, TMAAT, what is CRM to you?. Technical portion very straight forward, - Jet engine basics, swept wings pros / cons, coffin corner, systems on the most commonly flown aircraft of yours (electric and engine), AC vs DC, bleed air, basic weather questions about TAF and mountain waves, lenticular...

The interview was 3 hours long where we mostly talked about past experiences and most questions came from these study guides. Aside from the standard 91.175 questions, I was also asked about the standard MSA size and where the bleed air was introduced into the engine from the APU for starting. Overall, my advice is to really polish up on your basics to a level beyond just understanding and do your best to read up on the Jepp charts for approaches and airport...

I studied for about 28 days, dedicating several hours each day. I only struggled with three questions out of all of them. It’s not an easy interview. Everything on this website is pretty accurate, but you need to internalize the answers and present them in your own words. For questions like "Tell me about your electrical system" or "Tell me about Mach tuck," make sure you can explain them smoothly without stumbling. Your knowledge needs to go beyond rote...

Interview was with a retired CRJ captain, who also taught the ATP/CTP course. He kicked off the interview by asking if I had any questions. Having already written some down, I fired them off but could easily see this catching people off guard, considering he was going in reverse of a normal format. Nevertheless, he was very friendly, and we immediately connected thanks to our shared backgrounds prior to becoming pilots. With that said, we then formally introduced ourselves, and I was asked...

My interview was with a older first officer who has been there for 2 years. He was great, it was a very natural conversation and he was not looking for in-depth answers. The interview was just under 2 1/2 hours. We started with introductions, my hours, preference on aircraft or base, why I got into aviation, why Skywest, tell me about a time where you had a difficult flight and a disagreement with a coworker or student. Then a couple questions about general regs, like what is required for...
